Destroy the Mexican Drug Cartels
- By Josh Hammer
The tragic killing of two U.S. citizens this week in the border town of Matamoros, Mexico, should, in a just world, refocus American attention on the glaring problem of transnational drug cartels' de facto control of large swaths of our perilously porous southern border. That the two Americans killed may have been mistaken by warring cartel clans for Haitian drug smugglers, as The Dallas Morning News reported, hardly ameliorates the awful situation or lessens our imperative to recalibrate attention away from faraway proxy wars of dubious national interest, and toward the very monsters in our own backyard who run the Western hemisphere's worst human trafficking rings and flood the U.S. interior with the most lethal drugs known to man.

Parents and Children Are the GOP Future
- By Josh Hammer
The Republican Party's slow transformation from the Bordeaux-sipping party of Acela Corridor suburbanites into the beer-drinking party of working-class Rust Belt-ers and Sun Belt-ers has been picking up some steam lately. And as the GOP's divorce from the Chamber of Commerce over irreconcilable cultural differences accelerates, a golden opportunity has emerged to recast the GOP not in a 1980s-era image of supply-side tax-cutting, but in a revamped image of the party that focuses on supporting parental rights and protecting vulnerable children from modern society's depredations.

What a difference a word makes in the Bill of Rights, and such a little word at that!
- By Jim S. Brooks - Roebuck, SC
First Amendment: “Congress shall make no law respecting AN establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; …” Bill of Rights, Constitution of the United States.
The little indefinite article “an”, capitalized above, is crucial to interpretation of the first clause of the First Amendment. Use of a wrong article here gives disastrous results from the original intent. Our nation has experienced those disastrous results! This erroneous interpretation, and other reasons, have actually led to the complete deletion of the first religious clause of the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights as debated and ratified by the forefathers into a present collage of US Supreme Court cases, as they rewrite the clause, into a new meaning that no one now can comprehend or understand of the actual religious issues that the first clause identifies. This unconstitutional rewrite by the Supreme Court has led to the suppression of the Word of God concerning the Good News of God in the Cross of Jesus Christ. The innocent youth of the nation have suffered the most!

Democrats Have No Good Option for 2024
- By Josh Hammer
Former South Carolina Governor and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley's 2024 presidential announcement this week, which makes her the first Republican to declare other than former President Donald Trump himself, formally commences what should prove to be a tumultuous GOP presidential primary. But despite the impending made-for-TV tumult in the GOP primary, the fact remains that the party has a number of possible or likely candidates who are either well-qualified or broadly popular with a substantial slice of the national electorate.

Failing To Fix What's Broken Would Be the Real Nightmare
- By Veronique de Rugy
President Joe Biden tweeted last week that he will be a "nightmare" for Republicans who dream of cutting Social Security and Medicare. With this statement, Biden showed that he's either shockingly ignorant about these two programs and any Republican reform efforts -- or lack thereof -- or just another politician who washes his hands of what happens when he's out of office and the programs hit upcoming obstacles.
I have an idea which one it is. However, before revealing my guess, it's worth revisiting the issue more fully. Each time I write about Social Security and Medicare, newspapers receive letters to the editors revealing how little the general public understands about entitlement spending and where it's headed. This misunderstanding is particularly acute and ominous when it comes to Social Security.

Taking the Conservative Fight to the Culture: ‘You Can’t Have it Both Ways.’
- By Robin M. Itzler - American Thinker
If you are one of the millions of conservatives who watched on February 12 when the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35 in Super Bowl LVII, shame on you! Conservatives can’t have it both ways!
Before progressives hijacked American traditions, Super Bowl Sunday was a time when family and friends got together to watch the big game. Even if you didn’t know the difference between a football and a footstool, you still had a fun time at the party eating delicious foods that clogged your arteries. Everyone watched the creative commercials—some a one-time airing just for the event—and the fantastic halftime show was a mini-concert featuring our favorite performers.

Assessing U.S.-China Relations in the Aftermath of the Spy Balloon
- By Josh Hammer
The utterly humiliating saga of a high-altitude Chinese surveillance "balloon" successfully traversing the entire North American continent, only to be shot down off the South Carolina coast after completing its intelligence-gathering voyage, ought to serve as a wake-up call for America's decadent ruling class. At Newsweek, Paul du Quenoy sagely compared the affair to the young West German pilot Mathias Rust's successful 1987 landing of his small Cessna just outside Moscow's Red Square, a similarly "irreparable blight" wherein a "sclerotic empire's air defense systems stood powerless at the sight of an airborne foreign intruder."
